Ask a Question about England
This is the page to ask questions about England. It can be a simple question such as "Will my phone work in England?" or something more elaborate like wondering how to select a good hotel in Marlborough or how to serve a proper English afternoon tea. You can ask questions about English food, English history, everyday life in England, visitor attractions, English politics or even cricket, football or rugby (even though I may have to find a friend or two to answer those!) Recent Questions to Our Q&A Section:What's the difference between England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom? Answer: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II rules over the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. England, together with Wales and Scotland makes up Great Britain. Read more.... Is there a patron saint of England? Answer: Yes, there is. The dragon-slaying St George is eh patron saint of England. He became England's patron saint during the reign of King Edward III. But where did he slay his dragon? Read more.... What kinds of small town festivals could I attend that really demonstrate the culture of the people of England (not the biggies, but rather the lesser-knowns)? Answer: You'll be spoilt for choice because the English love to celebrate their music and produce, their customs, traditions and history. Food festivals, village fêtes, ghost hunts or the oldest Olympic games in Europe are all within your grasp. Read more.... What's the weather like in England? Does it rain all the time? Answer: No, of course it does not rain all the time! We'd never get any strawberries to ripen if it did! That said, the weather can change quickly and you need to be prepared to have the odd rainy day during your trip. Read more.... Do the English really still 'do' afternoon tea? Answer: Yes, of course. Tea is regarded as a pick-me-up, a relaxant and even a cure-all. We drink thousands of cups a day! For most people in England drinking tea will not be an elaborate affair every day, but for special occasions, or when on holiday, we do like to push the boat out and do the thing properly. Hotels and tea shops all over England serve 'traditional' afternoon tea and that's where most visitors will first experience it. Try to do this at least once while you're here. You won't be disappointed. Read more ... And here's your chance
